[My Boss]

[I asked you to stay away from client. I'm not afraid of the case, but your safety.] [Episode 7]

Mr. Xu hopes to

reach a settlement outside the court

This agreement

is enough to prove our sincerity

Not to mention Miss Bai

is a celebrity in the entertainment industry

Yes

Once the litigation process begins

it will be exposed by the gossip

which won't be good for her image

Perfect

Really perfect

Unfortunately, I won't accept it

Lawyer Qian

You said you wouldn't accept it

Did your client agree to it?

You made this settlement proposal

without consulting your client

for your own benefit

and rejected our settlement offer

without talking to your client

I refuse to accept

this settlement agreement

Because I know

it's not the best solution

You can offer more

Mr. Xu

Your company

is in a critical period of going public

You should know

what a lawsuit means

After going public

your assets

will multiply exponentially

Compared to the settlement amount

you offered your ex-wife

It's just a drop in the bucket

So

who will benefit more

from signing this settlement agreement

Think about it clearly

and then come talk to me

We can discuss this later

Thank you, Lawyer Qian

Let's get together another time

Take care

Boss

We just reject it directly

without talking to Bai Xingmeng

Is that okay?

Will it cause any problems?

Before this meeting,

I already talked to Bai Xingmeng

She doesn't accept a settlement

whether Mr. Xu would offer

Then why did you ask Mr. Xu

to think about it?

To see if there's a better solution

That's to

give them hope for a settlement

Are you trying to confuse them on purpose

and make them lose focus

and not prepare for the lawsuit properly?

Is that it?

Do you think

I have to rely on confusing others

to win?

There's no need for so many "whys"

That's what Bai Xingmeng wants

As a lawyer

you just need to do

what you're supposed to do

Don't try to figure out

what the client really means

And also

I wanna remind you

Don't let your personal relationship

with the opposing lawyer

affect your professionalism in the case

That's not the case at all

I saw you flirting

Do you think I didn't see it?

Boss, you misunderstood

Really

Gu Beiqing is my senior in college

When he was in his first year of graduate school

I was in my freshman year

I passed my judicial examination

with his guidance

Later, he graduated and went abroad

We haven't been in contact for a long time

Today is the first time we meet

since he returned to the country

Really

It's not what you think

I guarantee

I will never

let personal relationships

affect my work

How mych did you get on your judicial exam?

Just passed the qualifying score

Then why did he tutor you for the exam?

You only got that score

He's not that good

It must be because of last night

when I cooked and disturbed you

So you're deliberately targeting me

You can do it tonight

What are you doing?

I...

I'm thinking about tonight's menu

What do you wanna eat, boss?

Don't delay your work

Don't delay your work

Sis

Why are you here?

Yaoyao

My sister's college classmate had an accident

She's out of town

There's no one to take care of her now

I have to rush over

Can you take care of her for a few days?

Me?

But...

Take this with you

But, sister

I have to catch a train

I don't have time

Please, okay?

But I...

Don't forget to feed it

So cute

The boss will be back soon

Do not bark

Understand?

What's its name?

Thundercracker

Thundercracker

Don't bark

Don't bark

Boss, you're back

Why does it smell like a dog in here?

Does it?

I might have just eaten stinky tofu

Don't eat stinky tofu at home

This little dog is so cute

Actually, I've always liked dogs

They're cute, lively,

and affectionate

Most importantly

They're like our friends, you know

The bond between dogs and humans

can be traced back thousands of years

This is hung by the client's daughter

Don't assume I like dogs

just because of a dog pendant

Dogs are absolutely not allowed at home

Give up on that idea

Why?

Dogs are humans' best friends

You won't be here if there's a dog

Dog can't be here if you're here

Thundercracker, you see

This is your good friend, Tigertron

Let me tell you

If you wanna live here,

never make a sound

Understand?

Cheng Yao, what are you doing?

I'm learning how to bark like a dog

Are you crazy?

Don't bark

Otherwise, you'll be kicked out

Don't bark

Don't bark

Boss

Cheng Yao, I hope you

won't make any more noise

What is this?

This is a dog

I know it's a dog

I mean,

how did it end up here?

Boss, are you afraid of dogs?

Forget about that for now

Just remove it from me

Quick

Quick, get it away

Today, right now, immediately

Get it away from me

No, Boss

It's my sister's dog

My sister is on a business trip

She wants to board it here

for a while

Don't worry

I'll keep it in the room

It won't disturb you

No

If you wanna keep it,

there goes your year-end bonus

Boss

Think about it carefully

There are many benefits to having a dog

For example,

dogs are humans' most loyal friends

They provide emotional value

to humans

And we sit for long hours in the office

Taking the dog for a walk

can also exercise our bodies

Your eloquence

can be used in court

I said no dog

Absolutely no

Move back a bit

Just because you're the boss

I already said

that I'll keep it in the room

and won't disturb you

And also,

I cook dinner and night snacks

for you every day,

which takes a lot of time and energy

Isn't that to repay my debt?

But didn't it also cure

your insomnia?

I've already seen it

You took on a case

as a psychologist

with a settlement of only five million

This doesn't match

your usual level of cases

There must be something abnormal

You investigated me?

I also have the right to know

as a party involved

This situation would make anyone

feel suspicious, right?

Boss

Psychologists can't cure your insomnia

But I cured it

Can you let the dog stay

for my sake?

Cheng Yao

Don't make decisions

without permission

Unauthorized investigation

is a violation

Take it away

Is it necessary to be so angry?

If I don't investigate thoroughly,

won't I be exploited

until there's nothing left?

Forget it

There's a special skill

that can get extra points

during the assessment

Dogs are not allowed in the living room

Don't run

Cheng Yao

Don't worry

The boss isn't here

He had something urgent this morning

and went to the airport

That's good then

I don't wanna see him early in the morning either

Actually, there's another reason

He knew you were late

So being half an hour late

is no different from being a day late

He came to find you early

and found you weren't here

He left you a note

Bai Xingmeng will come later

You're in charge of receiving her

Being late this morning. So no perfect attendance

Lawyer Cheng

Can you help me, please?

What's wrong, Miss Bai?

Xu Jun

He knew I disagree with the settlement

and sent someone to threaten me

They forced me to agree to the settlement

I don't know how to do now

He asked me how much money I want

You know that

If I file a lawsuit at this time,

it's not for extortion

I just want justice

I want the fair judgment

I know

But threats and intimidation

are illegal

Have you reported it to the police?

No

I'm scared

I don't wanna go back to the past

Before we divorced,

he was like this

If it doesn't go his way,

he'd keep bothering me

and even forcing me

until I agree

That's why I came to ask you

Because I've suffered so much

to overcome this darkness

I don't wanna go back to how things were

Lawyer Cheng

Can you help me fend him off

Can I give him your contact information

Miss Bai

I really wanna help you

But for direct communication...

I don't have enough right yet

You may need to

find Lawyer Qian

I'm sorry

If asking Lawyer Qian works

I will ask him

He said

he is only responsible for matters

within the scope of legal services

He won't handle

other time-wasting matters

I don't need you to make decisions

It doesn't involve the case either

It's just...

I don't have the courage to face him anymore

He is a controlling person

And he will track me

During this time

I can't even work anymore

I'm afraid that if I turn around

he will show up on set

So please, Lawyer Cheng

You just need to be a middleman

to convey my stance

The rest, let's wait calmly

for the court's ruling

Okay?

Okay

Thank you

Thank you

I'll send your number to him

I sent it

Please

Here he comes

Hello, Lawyer Cheng

My ex-wife said I can

contact you directly

She said as long as you agree

she's willing

to agree to discuss

with me about dropping the lawsuit

Mr. Xu

If you have something to say, just say it

I really have sincere intentions

In this marriage

I do have my own problems

I've been too focused on my career

So it led to where we are now

Mr. Xu

It's useless for you to tell me this

Let's leave everything to the law

I hope

you won't disturb my client anymore

Let alone threaten and intimidate her

I...

I have never threatened her

I have never done that

Let's wait for the judgment

Goodbye

Thank you

Thank you, Lawyer Cheng

Otherwise, I really don't know

what to do

It's okay

Everything will be fine, Miss Bai

I believe

Lawyer Cheng

Hello

I beg you

Can you

let me meet my ex-wife?

Because it's really urgent

I really hope

we can sit down face to face

to clarify the current situation

Mr. Xu

I have already said what I need to say

I'm sorry

No, wait

is it really that difficult for us

to meet?

I'm going home

If there's anything,

let's talk about it at work

Lawyer Cheng

Can you listen to me for a moment?

Mr. Xu, what are you doing?

Can you let me speak?

Mr. Xu, what are you trying to do?

I admit

that I shouldn't have

embezzled assets during the divorce

I do have problems

in this marriage as well

But what about Bai Xingmeng?

Isn't she at fault?

I just hope

that the two of us can sit down

and have an open and honest conversation

Let's compromise

There's no need to push someone

to a dead end

Mr. Xu, calm down please

Moreover, things have already

reached this point

How can you still blame Miss Bai?

You should go back and think

about what you've done wrong

Don't follow me anymore

Or I'm going to call the police

What's going on?

It seems like someone jumped off the building

Hurry, let's go. It's really scary

What's happening?

I'm not really sure

When I saw him,

he had already jumped

From here, right?

Do you know him?

No, I don't

Xu Jun, the CEO of Tuantuan Online

jumped off the headquarters building

and died

Here is his last post

on Weibo before his suicide

I started from scratch

and founded Tuantuan Online

Before the IPO,

I faced a lawsuit from my ex-wife

There was no chance for reconciliation

All my hard work was destroyed

by a marriage with countless problems

Malicious rumors

have completely distorted my image

The whole internet is slandering me

My reputation is ruined

Many friends now

doubt my character

My reputation hit rock bottom

Insults flooded in

were constantly ringing in my ears

And the final straw that broke me

was someone intentionally

informed my investors

about the potential irreconcilable lawsuit

Causing some investors to withdraw their funds

SoTuantuan Online couldn't go public

While our competitors had smooth sailing

I just found out yesterday

that Xu Jun and Bai Xingmeng

actually got married

I just found it out

Then I saw the suicide note

Yes

Everyone on the internet

was criticizing Xu Jun as a scumbag

And now he's dead

His suicide note implied

that Bai Xingmeng wasn't innocent either

Saying that she deceived him

But I think...

Bai Xingmeng looks so innocent

She doesn't seem like

someone with such a scheming mind

Well, you never know

The entertainment industry is full of truth and lies

The car is here

Yaoyao

Tell me what's going on

How did Xu Jun die?

He...

He's so fragile inside

When the company couldn't go public

He couldn't handle it

And he started smearing Bai Xingmeng

From what I see

Bai Xingmeng has indeed suffered a lot

Tingting, I'm not gonna talk to you

Sorry! The subscriber you dialed

cannot be connected for the moment

Sorry! The subscriber you dialed

cannot be connected for the moment

Let me tell you

Bai Xingmeng's case...

What's wrong with them, sister Tan Ying?

Bai Xingmeng went to find Deng Ming

to be her legal representative

They just held a press conference

Excuse me, did Mr. Xu Jun's choice to commit suicide

have anything to do with

Miss Bai's divorce lawsuit?

Miss Bai Xingmeng filed a lawsuit against Xu Jun

regarding the division of

assets after divorce

It is Miss Bai Xingmeng

protecting her legal rights

regarding her marital assets

Miss Bai Xingmeng, based on the principle

of being friends after a breakup

he accepted the settlement

However

due to the negligence of her lawyer

Miss Bai Xingmeng left

all the communication

to the lawyer in Junheng law firm

Miss Bai has never

direct communication with Mr. Xu Jun

However...

But because of their failure to inform her

Miss Bai Xingmeng had no knowledge

that Mr. Xu Jun, before his death

had repeatedly requested

to communicate with Miss Bai

We are deeply saddened by

the tragedy was caused by this as well

No, how could he say that?

Back then, she was the one who cried

and asked me to talk to Xu Jun

Why is she now blaming

Junheng for everything?

This must be the strategy

made by Deng Ming

He is the most skilled at manipulating public opinion

Are you suggesting

that Mr. Xu Jun's death

was largely caused

by Junheng Law Firm?

Then, may I ask Miss Bai

how she plans to handle the follow-up matters

Regarding the unfounded accusations

against Mr. Xu Jun on Weibo

Out of humanitarian spirit

Miss Bai Xingmeng has decided

to withdraw the lawsuit

But for certain media, self-media,

marketing accounts

and their distortion of facts fabrication,

spreading rumors and defamation

we will vigorously pursue

their legal responsibilities

As for Junheng Law Firm

they neglected their duties

Miss Bai will terminate agency agreement

while reserving the right

to pursue their legal responsibilities

As for the subsequent legal matters

they'll all be left to Dewei Law Firm

which is me, as the representative

Alright, stop looking

so as not to get upset

You also be careful

Qian Heng will be back from court soon

Think about how to explain to him

I caused such a big mess

How can I explain it now?

No need to be so down

Deng Ming will buy fake followers

We'll expose him

Isn't that right?

Can't we defeat him?

I'll contact the media now

and calm public opinion

Lawyer Wu

What's wrong?

Regarding the public relations

we trust you a lot

But with this happening

as usual

Qian Heng will definitely

fire Cheng Yao first

Think of a way

Let me think

Let me think

Have something sweet

to adjust your mood

Trust in Lawyer Wu's PR abilities

Thank you, sister Tan Ying

This is the information Lawyer Qian mentioned

Send it to me

Is Lawyer Qian back?

He's still in court

He asked me to come back and deliver some information

Is there any way to contact him?

He always turns off his phone

during court

What should we do now?

It's all my fault

I caused trouble again

To be precise

It's not entirely your fault

Only half of it, maybe

You're too serious

You don't what to say, anyway

I'll continue working

Cheng Yao, he didn't mean that

It's not entirely your fault either

Think about it

Bai Xingmeng's acting is good

which has been recognized by the whole nation

We can't just wait like this

There must be a solution

So, what do you wanna do?

You can't go and force Bai Xingmeng

to apologize, right?

Have something sweet

Take it easy

Where are you going?

To find Bai Xingmeng

Cheng Yao

Miss Bai

You asked me to

negotiate with Xu Jun back then

Why are you now blaming Junheng?

I don't know what you're talking about

What do you mean?

What are you doing?

Can you

stop causing trouble here?

I'm not causing trouble

Miss Bai

I hope you can clarify the facts

Miss Bai

What facts?

So, your so-called facts

are that you privately negotiated with Xu Jun

at the request of Miss Bai, right?

Alright then

So when she informed you,

did she send you any text messages or emails?

Did she?

She asked me verbally

Then, there should be recordings, right?

Do you have any?

No, there's none

So, can I say that

your so-called facts

as you trying to shift the blame

for your own negligence?

And then, you came up with a plan

to frame my client?

I didn't do that

So show me the evidence

Show me the evidence

Prove to me that my client

knew that you deliberately obstructed Xu Jun

and not let them talk

I didn't deliberately obstruct

I didn't

Miss Bai, why don't you say something?

Miss Bai

Go rest in the car first

I'll handle this

Let go

Yaoyao, let me tell you

Brother-in-law wanna help you

You're not my brother-in-law

Okay

Ex-brother-in-law, okay?

I just want to help you

I just told you earlier

I said, show me the evidence

If you have evidence to prove

then it'll be done

Is it true?

You can't show anything, right?

Alright

Yaoyao

No need to blame yourself too much

I believe

Xu Jun's death

wasn't definitely because of you

Alright?

But...

Your behavior

really made him desperate

You left him with no way out

That's your negligence

Right?

Cheng Yao is my employee

You have no right to say she's negligent

Isn't this Lawyer Qian?

Long time no see

I've been wanting to contact you

It's about the

Golden Balance Award

I managed to win against you

Just a little bit

So you missed it again

I really feel bad about it

So I'd like to treat you to a meal

But you see, recently

I'm busy with the shows and interviews

I'm really busy

How about it?

Let's have a meal together

some other day

No need

If I were you,

I wouldn't just think about eating

I would go back early

and study the legal provisions

Make some last-minute preparations

After all these years in the court,

you have never won against me

Yes

You've always been my role model

I've been trying hard to catch up

Deng Ming

Stop making any more moves

Making moves

Your choice of words is so outdated

Sorry, Miss Bai

Sorry for keeping you waiting

You better not mess with Qian Heng

Don't complicate things

The main issue is Xu Jun

Clean up the mess for me

Don't worry

I still have a backup plan

Do you really enjoy

being slapped in the face?

I'm really stupid

Boss, scold me

My time is precious

Instead of scolding you,

I'd rather take on more cases

Get off

Tell me, what's going on?

I didn't stop

Xu Jun and Bai Xingmeng from meeting

It was Bai Xingmeng's own request

I thought

she was too miserable in her marriage

So I wanted to help her

I warned you

not to get too close to your clients

You're just a lawyer

She's just your client

No one asked you

to be so devoted to the client

Sorry, boss

I've tarnished Junheng's reputation

If you don't wanna see me anymore

I can leave right away

You caused such a big mess

Now you just wanna leave?

I've done something wrong

I'm willing to compensate

Can you afford it?

Then what do you want me to do?

I'll do whatever you say

What do you think?

I'm willing

Willing to what?

I'm willing to serve you

being your assistant for a lifetime

Cheng Yao,

what's the grudge between us?

Alright

Let's talk about the case first

Where did you go wrong?

I should listen to the boss

and maintain distance from the client

I shouldn't let emotions cloud my judgment

and lose my rationality at work

That's it?

And also

I shouldn't cause such a trouble

with a good boss

And even pry into the boss's privacy

What else?

I can't think of anything else

Could it be because I have a dog?

You said everything you did

was instructed by Bai Xingmeng

I really doubt

that it could be your own decision

Boss, don't you believe me?

Many lawyers nowadays

have personal motives when handling cases

They'd just benefit the case

For example, you persuaded Bai Xingmeng

not to meet

And at the same time contacted Xu Jun

and took the chance to ask for a bribe

After agreeing and receiving the money

you facilitated a meeting and settlement

Originally, it went unnoticed

And it was a win-win solution

But Xu Jun

couldn't handle it mentally

You just made a wrong move

And he committed suicide

I didn't

How could I

be that kind of person?

Boss, I promise

I absolutely didn't profit from it

Where's the evidence?

I have no evidence

But boss, you're so smart

You'll definitely uncover the truth

If you...

if you're willing

I can sign a contract with you

and work for you for the rest of my life

So, you're accusing me now, right?

Now...

Do you know where you went wrong?

I told you to stay away from the client

Not because I'm afraid you'll mess up the case

but because I hope you'll learn

to protect yourself

Being a lawyer comes with

its own professional risks

It's not just about enthusiasm

and passion

Many lawyers involved in public interest cases

ended up losing their licenses

and going to jail

You need to learn to identify

which clients pose risks

and keep those risks

within manageable limits

Preserve the evidence

during the representation process

Cheng Yao

You are a lawyer

You should know

where the limits of the law lie

and how to operate safely

Learn from it

So at least you could

benifit from this case

Boss

There is no evidence

Why are you willing to help me?

I trust you

Why?

Because you're not that intelligent enough

It's enough for you to be intelligent

I still need to learn more from you

Alright

Keep personal and professional matters separate

I will collect every penny

of Bai Xingmeng's legal fees

There is nothing in this world

that I can't handle

Boss

Tonight's dinner

is all fresh seafood

Please try it

Squeeze some lemon juice on the oysters

It helps to remove the fishy taste

I'll improve next time

I like to grill the squid

I'll buy an oven for that

These shrimp are quite prickly

Let me peel them for you

To repay my debts

You're working extra hard today

Boss

Tonight's dinner

is specially prepared to thank you

It won't be included in the bill

Thank you, Boss

Thank you for taking the time

to present me with facts and reasoning

Thank you for encouraging me

True friendship is tested in adversity

You are now

a monument in my life

guiding me in the right direction

Wait a moment

Where did you copy that from?

These are all

my genuine thoughts

By the way, Boss

What songs do you like me to sing

while cooking?

Give me a playlist and I'll learn

I only occasionally have insomnia

It's not like I'm always sleepless

Well, I need to be prepared at all times

I can't slack off

Alright

Since you're so sincere

Write a 10,000-word self-reflection

So many?

All handwritten

The similarity rate

should not exceed ten percent

And also

Don't think I'll let you off the hook

since I ate your seafood

Mistakes at work

deserve punishment

None of it should be spared

But let me handle

Bai Xingmeng's matter first

Let's eat

Boss, the shrimp is ready

I just hope

the two of us can sit down

and have a good talk honestly and openly

Both sides need to compromise

There's no need to push someone

to a dead end

He came to me that day

because he was already desperate

Xu Jun's death

wasn't definitely because of you

But...

your behavior did make him desperate

You left him no way out

That's your negligence, isn't it?

Am I right?

I am Xu Jun's brother

Regarding my brother's untimely death

my family and I

find it very sudden

We simply cannot accept it

Actually, if back then

my brother had communicated well

with his ex-wife Bai Xingmeng

there might have been a chance for reconciliation

My brother wouldn't

have been so desperate

The tragedy wouldn't have happened

I just wanna ask...

Lawyer Cheng

Don't you feel guilty?

What personal agenda drove you

to prevent my brother

from communicating with his ex-wife?

You're a killer

You're a heartless lawyer

Cheng Yao

Heartless lawyer

You could do anything for money

You ruined the reputation of the industry

You're heartless

You're simply disgusting

So disgusting

Get out of the legal industry

Hello

You murderer

You troublemaker

Cheng Yao

Stop answering the phone

How did they get my number?

There are no secrets online

Just do a little digging

and all the information

will be transparent

Come out with me

What would you like to order?

I want that

Make a non-alcoholic cocktail for her

I want that

Please wait

But, boss

I wanna drink alcohol

You're not a good drinker

Your taste in alcohol is even worse

It's special today

Do I need to remind you

what happened when you drank last time?

It's better to be at home then

Why do we have to come out?

There's a dog

at home

I thought you brought me out

to relax

To adjust myself

What a dream

Lawyer Qian. Yaoyao

Senior

What a coincidence

Lawyer Qian, did you ask me out

because of Yaoyao?

If it wasn't for Cheng Yao,

do you think I would wanna see you?

I invited you here today

hoping that you

can be Xu Jun's acting lawyer

And tell Cheng Yao

about the situation of their marriage

Of course

As for the confidentiality of the case

You don't have to mention it

Just analyze it

from your personal perspective

Actually, I didn't expect

that he couldn't hold on in the end

Actually, Xu Jun has been suffering

from severe depression

for a long time

He had been relying on medication

to barely stabilize his condition

But I didn't know

that he had depression

Yaoyao, I know

that the facts that Xu Jun's death

Whether from your inner feelings

Or from the public opinion

It's a kind of pressure for you

That makes you feel it's your fault

But it's not

It's all Bai Xingmeng's responsibility

Bai Xingmeng has always known

about Xu Jun's depression

But she claimed

that she's the victim of this marriage

Xu Jun mocked and abused her

Has she shown you any evidence?

I have the diagnosis

of Xu Jun's depression

And their previous chat records

When did Bai Xingmeng say

that she's the victim of the marriage?

I didn't know it

One time

After a meeting

she left me alone in the meeting room

and confirmed the evidence with me

She's truly a famous actress

Using her acting skills to distort the truth

What Xu Jun posted online

before his death are all true
